Tottenham transfer blow as Rodrigo De Paul 'refuses' deal

[mawspurs]

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has failed in an attempt to bring Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodrigo De Paul to north London this summer, according to reports. The Italian coach has already welcomed five new faces since the end of last season, with Clement Lenglet becoming the latest player to join the club by signing on loan from Barcelona earlier this month.

This kind of article, of which the Express is making a speciality, comes in two types: 1) totally invented to garner clicks and 2) the player is one of the 20+ in his position about whom Paratici has made preliminary enquiries and has just been deleted from the list of candidates.

He’s a great player. But with Bissouma, Bentancur, Skipp, and Hojbjerg, we definitely don’t need him.
